Our own Cub Scouts had an opportunity to visit Luke Air Force base for their 2018 Luke Days air show on March 17th.

Pastor Steve will be leading a class, “Highlights from Calvin’s Institutes,” January 17-May 2.
“Outside of the Bible, no book has influenced me as much as John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion. Calvin has an exalted view of God and a biblically humbling view of man that will help you to grow in worship, godliness, understanding, and humility, which is the aim of this course.”

Our Family’s Advent Tradition

Every year our family has a tradition of reading an advent story from Arnold Ytreeide. His first book, “Jotham’s Jouney”, chronicles a young shepherd boy’s adventure in Israel at the time of Jesus’s birth. Jotham is separated from his family and spends the entire story looking for his family. Throughout the story, Jotham meets other […]

Video Recap of 2017 VBS

Video recap of FCF’s 2017 Vacation Bible School.

FCF is Going Gluten Free!

FCF is Going Gluten Free! On July 13, 2017, the elders approved to switch our communion bread to gluten free. This was in response to the growing number of people in our congregation could not partake because of gluten intolerance. Since only one body was broken for us (Matthew 26:26), we believe that it is […]

By Aaron Menikoff Several years ago I preached my first sermon as the pastor of Mount Vernon Baptist Church. The minister of music stopped me before the service with a question. He wanted to know how I’d be making the altar call. I was confused. Prior to this Sunday morning I’d been at MVBC three times, […]

American Heritage Girls finish up their 1st year!

This past Tuesday night FCF’s American Heritage Girls finished up their first full year with several girls bridging up to new units and many girls being recognized for their achievements and Christlike character. Thank you to all the amazing adult volunteers who make this happen!

Discipleship According to the Scriptures

By Garrett Kell My earliest memories revolve around fishing trips with my father. He taught me how to bait a hook, cast a line, and land a catfish without getting stabbed to death. But fishing wasn’t all I learned. I learned about my father. I learned how he walked, how he talked, how he joked, […]

How to Reform a Sunday School Program

By Juan Sanchez For many Christians, Sunday school is a staple of church life. But what do you do when that staple isn’t as healthy as it should be? ADAPTING THE TRADITIONAL MODEL By God’s grace, the Holy Spirit used a faithful Sunday school teacher to lead me to Christ at the end of my […]

Why Sunday School Lost its Edge

By Ed Stetzer It’s probably not a secret that Sunday school is no longer the en vogue program of the local church. Its reputation has, well, suffered over the years. My focus here is not to give answers or prescriptions, but to help us consider how it lost its reputation—its edge—and how a once thriving program is […]

Why You Want Adult Sunday School

An apologetic for adult Sunday School.

Fine Dining at 7,000 feet

FCF’s Youth Group puts on an outstanding dining experience for their summer camp fundraiser.

Where Did the Last 40 Years Go?

Someone asked Billy Graham when he was old what impressed him most about life. He replied, “Its brevity.” I can certainly relate to that! It’s hard for me to believe that it was forty years ago this month that with much fear and trembling I began as a pastor at a small church in the Southern California mountains.

What I Read on my Recent Study Leave

I often get asked, “What did you do on your study leave?” Read on and I’ll tell you.

Flagstaff Christian Fellowship on ABC News

In case you missed last Sunday due to the storm or being out of town, you’ll be interested to know that FCF was on ABC 15 News. Here’s the link:

Is the Virgin Birth a Myth?

This week, a friend from out of our State sent me a blog from a pastor in her town where a friend of hers attends. In it, he makes the comment, “I am reminded that there is a good deal of myth in the birth narratives of the Christ.” He then refers to the virgin birth of our Lord. Really?

A Week in the Life

This is a story about a very different week for some Christians, but not for others. Would you notice the difference?

Pastor Steve on the Sale of the Equestrian Property

If you’re new at Flagstaff Christian Fellowship, maybe you’ve wondered what we’re talking about when we ask prayer for the sale of our Equestrian Estates property. The good news is, you won’t hear that anymore because it sold! If you’d like to read my thoughts on it, along with a brief history of why we bought it, why we sold it, and where we’re headed now, read on.

Deceived or Delighted? Meditation by Pastor Steve

I was reminded of George Muller’s rule that the first business of every morning should be to secure happiness in God.

True Worship

Stephen Charnock (in The Existence and Attributes of God [Baker], 1:242) sums up the essence of spiritual worship: “God is a Spirit infinitely happy, therefore we must approach to him with cheerfulness; he is a Spirit of infinite majesty, therefore we must come before him with reverence: he is a Spirit infinitely high, therefore we must offer […]

Charles Spurgeon, “The Exceeding Riches of His Grace”

C. H. Spurgeon, “The Exceeding Riches of His Grace,” on Ephesians 2:7 (Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit [Pilgrim Publications], 28:344-345): I wish I could say something that would make men know how vast is the mercy of God. Oh that these lips had language! Perhaps my failure may be better than fluency. If so, I would gladly […]

A List of Christian Biographies

A list of books on church history and biographies of great Christians.

Preaching, I have discovered, is a hazardous occupation. I first learned this a short time after starting in the pastorate, when I made the mistake of preaching a series on the Christian and his money. I did not consider the subject personally threatening. My finances were above reproach. I sought to live a simple life […]

Some Quotes on Being Delighted in God

Here are just a few of many wonderful verses from the Psalms. I recommend that you work through the Psalms and write such verses on 3×5 cards and read them over each day to find your joy in God. Psalm 5:11-12: But let all who take refuge in You be glad, let them ever […]

Developing Self-Control

The presence or absence of self-control is one of the most determinative factors in whether a person will do well or have serious problems in his or her Christian life.

Accountability Questions for Moral Purity

(The following are just a few of the questions from the November, 2002, “Spirit of Revival,” pages 37-38. Contact Life Action Ministries, 800-321-1538, http://www.LifeAction.org Am I being intentional about maintaining a sexually pure lifestyle… Through cultivating my relationship with the Lord? Am I spending time daily reading the Bible and in prayer? (Ps. 119:9, 11) […]

Advice On Reading

[Reprinted from the Banner of Truth, Issue 11, June, 1958, p.1] “Make careful choice of the books which you read: let the holy scriptures ever have the pre-eminence, and, next to them, those solid, lively, heavenly treatises which best expound and apply the scriptures, and next, credible histories, especially of the Church . . . […]

Are You Born Again?

By J. C. Ryle (1816-1900) Are you born again? This is one of life’s most important questions. Jesus Christ said, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). It is not enough to reply, “I belong to the church; I suppose I’m a Christian.” Thousands of nominal Christians […]

Spiritual Diagnostic Questions

10 questions to diagnose your spiritual walk.

Some Comments on Sound Doctrine

John MacArthur, The Truth War [Thomas Nelson], p. 198: “Sound doctrine divides, confronts, separates, judges, convicts, reproves, rebukes, exhorts, and refutes error. None of these things is very highly esteemed in postmodern thought. But the health of the church depends on our holding firmly to the truth, for where strong convictions are not tolerated, discernment […]

John Chrysostom to Husbands

“Husbands, Gentleness and Love Are the Foundations of a Strong Marriage”—John Chrysostom (c. 349 – 407) John the “Golden-mouth” (Chrysostom) was known as an eloquent and insightful preacher who was greatly loved by his congregations in Antioch. When he became Bishop of Constantinople, the new capital of the Roman Empire, in 398 A.D., John used […]

Hudson Taylor on Faith

Firm Faith—Hudson Taylor (1832 – 1905) The spread of the gospel in nineteenth-century China owed much to one man—Hudson Taylor. As the founder of the China Inland Mission (CIM) in 1865 and a great encourager of missionaries, Taylor blazed a trail for the gospel, leaving 125,000 Chinese Christians at his death. Men such as C. […]

How I prepare sermons

Regarding sermon prep, I had Haddon Robinson at Dallas Theological Seminary, and his course is basically contained in his book, “Biblical Preaching.” I don’t follow his method to a T, but I do generally follow it, with many shortcuts that are necessary for ministry survival. I begin just with the old observation, interpretation, application process […]

Joshua Harris on “How to Choose a Church”

(From, Stop Dating the Church [Multnomah Publishers], by Joshua Harris, pp. 83-96) This list isn’t exhaustive, but will help you focus on the issues that matter most: Is this a church where God’s Word is faithfully taught? Is this a church where sound doctrine matters? Is this a church where in which the gospel is […]

The Matchless Pearl (a short story of salvation)

(Adapted from a Tract, publisher unknown) Years ago, an American missionary to India, David Morse, was good friends with a pearl diver named Rambhau. They had spent many hours together and on many occasions the missionary had shared the good news of Christ, but to no avail. His Indian friend always objected, “Your religion is […]

J. C. Ryle on the power of the Bible

In this excerpt from, How Readest Thou? (Moscow ID: Charles Nolan Publishers, 2001), J. C. Ryle (1816–1900) recalls the world-altering transformation accomplished by men of God armed only with Scripture, good theology, and Spirit-filled preaching. Many centuries have now passed away since God sent forth a few Jews from a remote corner of the earth […]

John MacArthur on the Doctrines of Grace

Divine Immutability and the Doctrines of Grace By John MacArthur The following are a few excerpts from MacArthur’s excellent foreword to Steven Lawson, Foundations of Grace ([Reformation Trust], 2006, pp. 7-20): The idea that God does what He wants, and that what He does is true and right because He does it, is foundational to […]

Why Good People Don’t Go To Heaven

A question I frequently ask people is, “If you were to die and stand before God and He said, ‘Why should I let you into heaven?’ what would you say?” Most people recognize that it’s a crucial question! The answer I most frequently hear goes like this: “I’ve tried to do the best I could. […]

John Calvin – the Man and His Preaching

The Life and Times of John Calvin In my spiritual life, the men who have helped me the most possess two qualities: solid biblical scholarship and a fervent heart of devotion for God. Some are impressive Bible scholars, but they are like spiritual dry toast. These men could look at a picture of a […]

Quotes from John Bunyan

Quotes from John Bunyan, The Acceptable Sacrifice, or the Excellency of a Broken Heart (in Bunyan’s Works [Baker]) “Whoever has heard the Word preached, and has not heard the voice of the living God therein, has not as yet had their hearts broken, nor their spirits made contrite for their sins.” (Page 1:694) “This, then, […]

John Bunyan

(The following summary of Bunyan’s life is culled from “Memoir of John Bunyan,” by George Offor, who edited Bunyan’s 3-volume Works [Baker], in volume 1.) A Brief Overview of Bunyan’s life: John Bunyan lived from 1628-1688 in or near Bedford, England (north of London). He is most famous for his allegory, Pilgrim’s Progress, which Spurgeon […]

Elijah and the Pastors’ Conference

(A fictional story about a minister who embraced the modern psychobabble culture and abandoned God’s Word.) As he eased his BMW along the freeway in the crowded morning traffic, Dr. David Shaw reflected on the stunning success of his ministry. Just fifteen years before he had been the pastor of a struggling little church that […]

Biblical Character Qualities & Life Skills

An inexhaustive list of character qualities and life skills.

Mining For Gold

What I’ve Learned from Reading Christian Biographies During a class in my final year in seminary, Dr. Howard Hendricks said something that jumped out and grabbed me for life: “Two factors will have the greatest impact on where you find yourself ten years from now: the books you read and the friends you make. Guard [...]

Biblical Principles For Communication

Communication is difficult, but God’s word provides some principles to help us through it.

What should I pray?

Specific requests, based on various scriptures.

Dear Mary

(An open pastoral letter to a young Christian woman considering marriage to an unbeliever) Dear Mary, Last Sunday at church your parents told me of your wedding plans. Being in love and looking forward to marriage is an exciting time in life. I can imagine your hopes as you look to the future. Your […]

Steak and Arsenic

A Review of Neil Anderson’s Victory Over the Darkness Reading Neil Anderson’s Victory Over the Darkness [Regal Books, 1990, 245 pp.] is like eating steak laced with arsenic. The steak tastes great and makes up the major portion, but the arsenic, imbedded throughout, will kill you. First, the steak: Anderson strongly sets forth the believer’s […]

Charles Spurgeon on Free Will

From his sermon, “The Holy Spirit in the Covenant,” preached on a Lord’s Day morning, 1856 What a vain pretense it is to profess to honor God by a doctrine that makes salvation depend on the will of man! If it were true, you might say to God, “We thank thee, O Lord, for what […]

What Theology Is This?

Dave Hunt’s Misrepresentation of God and Calvinism As I read Dave Hunt’s latest book, What Love is This? subtitled, “Calvinism’s Misrepresentation of God,” I felt both profound sadness and righteous anger. I was sad because many unsuspecting and uneducated Christians will believe that Hunt is accurate and thereby miss out on one of the richest […]

Baptism: Some Common Questions Answered

Baptism is an important topic that also arouses much controversy and confusion. The decisive issue is, what does the Bible teach? I want to answer from the Bible some common questions about baptism. If you have a different understanding, I simply encourage you to study the Bible for yourself to see what it teaches (see […]

Christians & Psychology

Some Common Questions Answered During the past 15 to 20 years a dramatic shift has taken place in American Christianity: Psychology has flooded into the church. Christian psychologists are now the ones many Christians primarily look to for guidance in the Christian life. Christian psychologists write many of the best-selling books and dominate much of […]

Christ’s Resurrection is the Foundation of Christianity

It’s fascinating when engineers strategically place explosives and then set them off so that an old skyscraper collapses into a heap of rubble. With the Christian faith, you only have to set the explosives at one point: Blow up the resurrection of Jesus and the whole thing comes tumbling down. That’s what the apostle Paul […]

The Amazing Iron Bedstead Discovery: A Tale About Evolution

The other day my wife and I hiked up to Fremont Saddle, where we came across an old rusty iron bedstead. I said, “Isn’t that amazing? How many million years do you suppose it took for that iron to be worn down by the weather and glaciers until it looked like a bed?” “Don’t be […]

Warning: Reading This Column Could Change Your Life!

When I was 18, a friend asked me what I had been reading lately. I replied, “I don’t read anything that isn’t required to pass a course.” He looked me in the eye and shot back, “If you don’t read, you won’t grow spiritually!” Wham! His words hit me right between the eyes. I asked […]

Some Thoughts on Consensus Leadership and Decision-making

Description: Consensus leadership refers to the process in a local church by which the elders make decisions by seeking the mind of the Lord, not by “voting their own mind.” The mind of the Lord will be revealed by an uncoerced unanimity among the elders, reached after thorough, biblically-based discussion and prayer. In some decisions, […]

Spending the Days of Your Life

What if Uncle Sam issued a sum of money to each citizen at birth? You would know the average national allotment, but not how much you had been given. It could be average, above average, or below average. You don’t know. But what you’re issued is all you get. You can’t earn any more. When [...]

Prayer: Some Insights from John Calvin & George Muller

Pastor Cole’s insights into prayer from John Calvin and George Muller.

What American Families Need Most

Nausea, grief, anger, fear—these were some of my feelings a few weeks ago when I heard about yet another student who took a gun to school and opened fire. I fear because I’m a parent: What if it happens at my son’s school? What can we do to halt this frightening trend? Obviously the problem [...]

Tolerance: The Chief American Virtue

I once served on a jury for a drunk driving case in California. The defendant, a woman in her early twenties, was driving with a blood alcohol level measuring .20. At that time, the law stated that .10 and over was too drunk to drive. The judge gave us explicit instructions. We were to set [...]

How John Calvin Led Me To Repent Of Christian Psychology

On March 24, 1974, the day after our wedding, my wife, Marla, and I rented a rowboat at Lake Arrowhead, California. Being a cheapskate, my intention was to rent the boat for only one hour. I planned to row out into the lake for about 20 minutes, sit and bask in the presence of my […]

Companions by Covenant

When I was in seminary, I knew a man who married a woman he did not know. He had met her once and did not find anything objectionable. Since his parents and her parents had arranged the marriage, he agreed to it. In India, where this couple was from, that’s the way it’s often done. […]

What Christmas Has To Do With Hell

A florist got the messages mixed up on the orders he sent out. A woman received flowers sent by her husband who was at a business meeting in Florida. She was puzzled to read on the card, “My deepest sympathy.” But she was not nearly as surprised as the woman whose husband had just passed […]

Grateful or Grumbling?

Helen Keller, born blind and deaf, wrote, “I have always thought it would be a blessing if each person could be blind and deaf for a few days during his early adult life. Darkness would make him appreciate sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.” Her words lead me to ask, Do we […]

Why You Don’t Need More Self-Esteem

One of the most popular ideas to emerge in Christian circles in recent years is that we all need to build and maintain proper self-esteem. Dozens of best-selling Christian books are laced with this theme. It is frequently mentioned in sermons and on Christian radio shows. It is a fundamental assumption underlying most Christian counseling. [...]

Enjoying Your Kids While You Can

A couple of years ago, around the time of her sixteenth birthday, my middle daughter said to me, “Dad, do you remember how you used to take each of us somewhere special for our birthday, just time alone with you?” I remembered, of course. Not every year, but on three or four of the kids’ [...]

Separation Versus Cooperation

Some Thoughts on the Limits of Cooperation with Other Christians & with the World One of the difficult issues for every Christian to work through theologically and implement practically is the degree of separation from professing Christians and from the world. All Bible-believing Christians would acknowledge that Christians are called to be in the world, but […]

Happy Holidays and Sound Doctrine

I sat staring at my computer screen for over an hour, trying to think of some warm, fuzzy thoughts on the holidays for this issue of our church newsletter. I’m sorry to disappoint some of you, but I’m just not a warm, fuzzy holiday sort of person. I truly hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, […]

Women In The Church

WHAT CAN THEY DO OR NOT DO? Pastor Steven J. Cole and FCF Elders February, 1996 (Revised) The issue of women’s roles in the church is complicated and emotionally charged. These comments are only a brief synopsis of some of the issues. As elders, we affirm the rationale, purposes and affirmations of The Danvers Statement […]

Winning The War Against Lust

I want to answer a very practical question for Christians living in this sex‑saturated society: How can we win the war against lust and the overt sexual sin which results from lust? We’re bombarded daily with sensuality. You can’t watch TV, read a news magazine or drive past billboards without being confronted with blatantly sexual […]

The Basis For Christian Unity

Christian unity is a hot topic. Here in Flagstaff, there have been a number of inter-church “Unity” services and other cooperative events which often include both Catholics and Protestants. I recently received an invitation to attend a worship service being held at the Nativity Catholic Church, where Dr. Emilio Castro, former General Secretary of the […]

Let’s Stop The Rhetoric About Abortion

President Clinton has voiced his opinion that abortions should be “safe, legal, and rare.” I hope the American public can see this for what it is: Rhetoric. Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines rhetoric as “insincere or grandiloquent language.” In case “grandiloquent” is not a familiar word, it means that which is marked by “lofty [...]

Promise Keepers: A Perspective

Promise Keepers (hereafter, PK) began in 1990 through the vision of then Colorado University football coach, Bill McCartney. Aimed at discipling men, PK “is a Christ-centered ministry dedicated to uniting men through vital relationships to become godly influences in their world” (from their purpose statement). They have an orthodox, though brief, statement of faith. They […]

Why Are We So Unhappy When We Have So Much?

Almost weekly I deal with unhappy people. Some are unhappy in their marriages--their mates are “not fulfilling their needs.” Others are upset with their children, their parents, or their bosses. Many are unhappy with themselves because of failure or problems they can’t seem to overcome. Why are we Americans so unhappy when we have so [...]

Of Football And Love

With football season behind us (that high church holy day, Superbowl Sunday, is now past) and Valentine’s Day just ahead (as I write), maybe it’s a good time to put in a word for marriage, especially to husbands coming out of “football hibernation” (that period of winter when husbands’ bodily functions slow down as they […]

The Inefficiency of God

As I was speed-reading the latest book on how to be a more efficient executive, I realized that God is terribly inefficient. I say it reverently, of course. But really, the Lord could have been much more efficient in the way He administered His eternal plan. I’m not sure the Lord would do well in [...]

The Best Show In Town?

Say, Mary, how about if we go over to First Church this Sunday morning? I see in the paper that they’re having that famous Christian speak.” “Well, honey, I don’t know. I noticed that Second Church is having that recently converted rock star, and I think the kids would enjoy that. And we can catch [...]

Christians and Politics: How Shall They Mix?

“It would be political suicide to give that speech,” said an aide to his boss. “He’s right, Senator,” chimed in another aide. “It’s just one clear-cut statement after another.” Perhaps I am committing pastoral suicide to dare to talk on an issue as emotionally explosive as “Christians and Politics: How Shall They Mix?” That may […]
